We stayed here over the Christmas holidays. Location is perfect for exploring the beautiful historical center. As others have said, if you are driving it is not easy to find, even with navigation due to one-way and restricted streets. You should plan to arrive between 2 and 4pm when shops are closed and the streets are mostly empty. No one will notice if you happen to make a wrong turn and the streets will be easier to navigate. :-) Staff and service are what you expect in a 5* hotel. Always kind and helpful. Breakfast is very good. Dinner is quite expensive for the quality -- there are other choices nearby which offer a better value for the same or less price.Our room was adequate, but certainly not luxurious. More of a 3+* with a need for a facelift. No one explained the lights or tv system which were strange. Bathroom was a major disappointment - one small sink, no space for toiletries, the toilet did not flush properly (it ran constantly because the flusher stuck) and the bidet was uncomfortably too close to the wall due to lack of space. The shower is very large. They should have used some of that space for the rest of the bathroom! It is also time to change the robes. The "spa" is also a bit strange and small.You need to make an appointment to use the sauna (steam only), and there are only two loungebeds in a very small, sterile room. When we arrived for our appointed time, there were dirty dishes left on a tray in the relaxing room, and no one was at the desk. We cleaned up, turned on some music (went behind the desk to do it) and made ourselves some tea. Again an oversize shower whose space could have been better planned/used otherwise.

thank you very much for your review and for taking the time to share your experience.It is never pleasant to read a comment that shows that we have not achieved our goal of providing our guests with an exceptional experience; we certainly want to look at it as an opportunity to improve.We really hope we will have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the very near future and being one of our Guest again.

Kind regards,Maria Marinelli

I have been to Lecce several times, and this was the best hotel I found. My room (a standard one) was spacious, with adequate space and light for working. Good breakfast and nice bathroom. Reception staff extremely friendlly and helpful. Very good location. However, I have a few doubts on the cleanliness of the bathroom: I found some spots on the bathroom marbles, which I think shouldn't be found in a hotel which claims five stars (I'm not talking about permanent stains: I successfully removed some of them, while trying to investigate the nature of it). On the other hand the bed was clean and comfortable. All in all I can assign four out of five.

Set in the hearth of the wanderful Lecce the hotel is beautiful, people genuinely smiles at you and makes you really feel welcomed at any step. Had the great chance to get room 101 with an amazing terrace ( think 50 or 60 sqmt). Called for breakfast and in 5 min it was in my room.

Spent four nights here in September. It is a pleasure to walk out the front door and be steps from the very heart of enchanting Lecce. Hotel staff was helpful in every regard, offering directions and suggestions - but not especially friendly. (The concierge, however, had patiently made (and changed) a number of restaurant reservations for us before our arrival.) Our room with a sitting area was clean, well appointed and well lighted. Plenty of storage space. Very good stall shower. Excellent buffet breakfast with local specialties and perfect coffee. The doorman found on-street parking for us every night - no charge, no tickets. However, driving to the hotel through the old city was an adventure every time. A car is NOT an asset in the old town. The only downside. I'd say, is the hotel's lack of charm - made up for by a very comfortable stay with no hitches whatsoever. And Lecce is a GEM!!

thank you very much for your kind review and for taking the time to share your experience with us.We are all really delighted to read that you enjoyed your stay at the Risorgimento Resort in Lecce and we really hope to welcoming you back in the very near future.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel in September. We did find it difficult to find so I'd suggest printing out the detailed online directions since our Garmin GPS did a poor job of navigating us. The hotel is modern and beautifully decorated. We had a suite and it was lovely. It had a private balcony, whirlpool tub, large shower and large bathroom. There was a sizeable closet, large bedroom with big screen tv and a separate living area with desk. We had one dinner at the hotel and it was excellent as was breakfast each morning. The hotel is very nicely located if you want to wander around Lecce, a very beautiful baroque city. You'd have no need for a car. The hotel also had a great little spa. There was a small relaxation room and a sizeable steam room. I had a treatment which was well done. The spa is by appointment only so you cannot simply go up to the spa and steam whenever you'd like. Even for using the steam room, you must book ahead which is a bit different. They should warn guests as my husband and I arrived at the spa only to find the door locked. Regading other amenities, free wifi was available in the lobby and there was a free computer guests could use. It would be great if the hotel considered free wifi in the rooms, rather than guests having to go down to the lobby every time we think of something we'd like to check online, like a restaurant recommendation, etc. Overall, though, we'd highly recommend this hotel for anyone interested in staying in Lecce.

Room Tip: Suites are as beautiful as the photos online.

Ths hotel was a real mixed bag for us. We had a spacious suite and liked the modern decor and huge balcony. The bed was comfortable and we had space to chill in our lounge area.

The hotel is in the heart of the Old Town and a great base for wandering the beautiful town. It's not a great place to drive too - if you don't need a car don't bring one.

For most of our stay we were very happy with the hotel.

The roof top bar is a great place to sip a cocktail with a fantastic view. We ate in the restaurant once and a had lovely meal. Service was a little lacking - our wine was placed away from the table but the waiters forgot to service it so we had to ask for it. And we were served from a different bottle on one occasion. Room service was expensive but quick and friendly though it took two calls to get a bottle of wine and the one that arrived wasn't the one we asked for.

But we could have forgiven all of this had the hotel not made an error with our booking by cancelling our room instead of another guest's. These things happen and had it been sorted properly we would not have been minded. But the receptionist was rude and simply did not listen to us only admitting the error when we looked at her paperwork. Even the manager just shrugged his shoulders when we explained what had happened and how she had behaved.

thenk you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us.I was very sorry to read that your experience was not of the high standard thet you quite rightly expected when staying at the Risorgimento Resort, Lecce.It leaves us restless and I will surely look at your comments as an opportunity to improve our services and keen to make it better next time.Really hope to welcoming you back at the Risorgimento Resort, I remain.
